Why the misleading headline unless you consider "off Phuket" to be anywhere other than Phuket.

[Jai Dee]

ThaiVisa did not word the headline... the Phuket News did.

Surely then Thai Visa should correct the headline. There are far too many misleading headlines on TV & elsewhere.

Make sure the Trumpeter doesn't get a hold of this fake news and headline......

The headline is not Thaivisa's to correct, TV republishes other news sources articles and probably has no rights to alter items it shows.  Would you expect every inaccurate piece of news (and there is a lot) to be corrected before TV posts it?
